"When we interviewed Kent, he really didn't present any remorse. He didn't provide any details. He would make a statement that dad's dead and apparently I did it, and that was about all he would give us," Jolley said.

It has been more than a year since the murder, and the motive is still unclear.

"There is no good answer of why somebody would kill their father," Chief McGill said.

Those who worked the case are just glad Jack’s loved ones will not have to relive the nightmare in court.

"It's horrible that this had to happen. I hope that they get a little bit of closure out of this to know that he is going to pay for his crime," Chief McGill said.

Jack’s family is still understandably taking everything in and did not want to interview.
